Intro//Studio by Alberto Ballocca
'Ciberneta // Hidden Ty.Ty.'
κυβερνήτης
Gli antichi Greci erano abili naviganti, guerrieri e commercianti marittimi.
Nel mare, ogni nave disponeva di un equipaggio definito e predisposto alla
navigazione, ma chi si occupava di muovere la barca, indirizzandola tra venti e remi, era il timoniere,
il Ciberneta.
"Cibernetica", deriva dal greco kybernētēs (traducibile oggi in timoniere o sovrano)
parola e concetto inventato da Aristotele per definire uno specifico sistema di
controllo per la comunicazione umana, cioè il linguaggio stesso.
Ecco perchè oggi associamo la tecnologia al compendio linguistico elettrotecnico.
Questa antica parola, non aveva niente a che fare con l'insieme di circuiti stampati,
cavi ed elementi elettronici che oggi, 2800 anni dopo Aristotele, si immaginano
rapidamente quando parliamo di 'Cibernetica', ma ovviamente, guardando alla natura
ed ai suoi cicli, ogni popolo / stato / comunità, era immaginato come un 'ciberneta',
che doveva guidare la vita al suo miglioramento medesimo, autotelico.
Un pò come, della barca (lo stato), il timoniere è il popolo.
La tecnologia imita la natura: Aristotele lo sostiene ripetutamente, solo che è difficile
dire entro quali categorie, perchè con 'natura', gli antichi, intendevano un concetto che per noi oggi è il 'corpo'.
Che la tecnologia imiti la natura è elemento compreso di questa visione che è precursore della
capacità dell'umanità di creare macchine che funzionano in modo autonomo, proprio
come i sistemi viventi diffusi, specialmente nel regno vegetale, molto più che in quello animale.
Hidden TyTy rinnovata di questi antichi concetti.

Ciberneta // Hidden Ty.Ty.'

The ancient Greeks were skilled sailors, warriors, and maritime traders.
At sea, each ship had a defined crew trained for
navigation, but the person responsible for moving the boat, steering it between winds and oars,
was the helmsman, the Cyberneta.
"Cybernetics" derives from the Greek kybernētēs (translatable today as helmsman or ruler),
a word and concept invented by Aristotle to define a specific system of
control for human communication, namely, language itself.
This is why today we associate technology with the compendium of electrical engineering languages.
This ancient word had nothing to do with the collection of printed circuit boards,
cables, and electronic elements that today, 2,800 years after Aristotle, we quickly imagine
when we talk about 'Cybernetics'. But obviously, looking at nature
and its cycles, every people/state/community was imagined as a 'cybernete',
who had to guide life towards its own, autotelic improvement. A bit like,
of the boat (the state), the helmsman is the people.
Technology imitates nature: Aristotle repeatedly argues this, but it's difficult
to say within which categories, because by 'nature' the ancients meant a concept
that for us today is the 'body'.
That technology imitates nature is understood by this vision, which is a precursor to
humanity's ability to create machines that function autonomously, just
like widespread living systems, especially in the plant kingdom, much more than in the
animal kingdom.
Hidden TyTy renews these ancient concepts.

'Ancient cultures, natural patterns & Jungian theories' Alberto Ballocca (b. 1993 - Turin, Italy) is an artist whose work emerges from an intuitive and emotionally charged process. Rooted in layered composition and guided by instinct rather than a singular formative moment, Ballocca’s practice reflects a deliberate surrender to the unknown. Images surface organically within his canvases, forming through the interplay of gestural marks, nuanced textures, and the subconscious. His visual language is one of self-construction, at once visceral and composed, evoking a psychological interiority that resists linear interpretation. Each work becomes a site of accumulation, where form, memory, and impulse converge in a balanced yet deeply expressive terrain. Ballocca’s approach is marked by a sensitivity to material and rhythm, resulting in compositions that feel both immediate and enduring.
